Descenders Next is off to a great start. After shadowdropping this month, the team has reached some big milestones, with over 500,000 players diving into the roguelike downhill snow/mountain boarding game. It's an awesome experience, especially on the Steam Deck, and the newest patch includes a nice fix to make it better to play on the go.

The game's first patch includes one specific fix for the Steam Deck. When customizing your player, we could sometimes go over the grid when selecting, but with this new update, it should be properly aligned and working as intended.

The rest of the update includes a plethora of fixes across the board. Boss Runs got some tixes for the Top node and time of day not changing when backtracking, the UI will function correctly when buying gear offline, objectives in Manic Mines and Masami Mountain should be working again, and stats for top levels in Boss Runs will no longer go off the screen.

There's a lot more that has been updated, and you can check the full changelog via their Steam Community Post.
